Q: Irregular disk space
Hello,
I wanted to check how much free space I have on my mbp 13 retina (mid 2015) ssd.
The system says I have 217 free gb (out of 251), while showing that Apps are using 123 gb.
Here is the screenshot:
Any idea on what is happening?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

That dis[play has a bug in the program that generates it and is often inaccurate. Sometimes, but not always, a Spotlight reindex will correct it:

You can download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective (both free) and open them. They will show all of your files and the respective sizes. These should provide accurate information.
